One thing is certain: my blog shall have pictures.

This might seem like a terrible idea, because I am a terrible illustrator and a terrible photographer.  But, while I’m honestly not the most avid blog-reader, I have to admit that my favorite blogs have pictures–usually drawn ones.

There will be danger.  There’s another certainty.

And there will certainly be certainty.

And also rampant indecisiveness.
